This comic mock-operetta about white slavery, opium
dens, and miscegenation set in the colorful world of 1937 Shanghai. Link Martin
places his story at the crossroads of good and evil, his exotic "old sin town”
is filled with singing sailors, humorous whores, foolish immortals, handmaidens
and henchmen, all taking their places in streets teeming with a mix of foreign
aristocrats, opium addicts, and gangland slave-trade czars.
